TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Rick Scott offered a budget proposal Tuesday that cuts more than $1 billion in spending and another $618 million in taxes, and adds money for schools, a few state pay increases and help with rebuilding beaches.

But Scott's budget puts him at odds with legislative leaders.

He doesn't support Senate President Joe Negron's $2.4 billion proposal to buy land for a reservoir near Lake Okeechobee, and he's clashing with House Speaker Richard Corcoran by proposing taxpayer money for private-public partnerships to attract businesses and tourists to the state.

“I don’t expect the governor to put the priorities of the House and the Senate in his initial budget," Negron said. "I have the burden of proof to convince him and to convince my colleagues that ... it’s appropriate to spend money on additional water storage south of Lake Okeechobee.”

The governor's $83.5 billion proposal, $1.2 billion larger than this year's budget, proposes more than $289 million to clean up polluted waters from Lake Okeechobee. He's also offered to nearly double funding to $50 million for rebuilding the state's beaches and to provide another $61 million to repair beaches damaged by Hurricane Matthew.

His other priorities include $1 billion more for schools, including $58 million to help recruit and retain schoolteachers. Among his ideas are waiving teacher certification fees and rewarding teachers who work in low-performing schools.

Scott stuck to his push to provide state incentives to businesses that locate here.

He's proposing $85 million for business incentives and $76 million for VISIT FLORIDA, a private-public partnership that promotes state tourism. Corcoran is vowing to strip taxpayer money from economic incentives and tourism promotion.

Scott said anyone who opposes state incentives for businesses "does not understand business."

About two hours later, Corcoran, R-Land O' Lakes, shot back, "If the concept is that those who create jobs will all believe that picking winners and losers and having the government engaged in the free market is a good thing, they haven’t read enough literature."

The Legislature considers Scott’s budget as it pieces together the state’s annual spending plan for the next fiscal year. Lawmakers will use Scott's recommendations to negotiate with his office as the House and Senate cobble together next year's budget. The Legislature will begin that process during this year's 60-day legislative session, which begins March 7.

Scott's budget assumes $32.3 billion in general revenue, which is on par with what state economists have estimated. However, Scott's proposal assumes the state will collect $516 million in additional revenue next year, compared with the $7.5 million assumed by the Legislature.

Scott's spending proposal relies on about $1.1 billion in cuts, including $581 million from a managed care, HMO-style plan that makes up the majority of the state's Medicaid program that serves more than 4 million poor and elderly residents.

Scott also would cut $298 million from what he called "arbitrary and inconsistent supplemental payments" to nonprofit hospitals that provide less charity care than do for-profit hospitals. He also proposes eliminating $50 million in automatic Medicaid rate increases for hospitals.

Scott is not offering money to the education budget that would prevent property taxes from increasing. The Legislature last year added about $400 million to cover the increase homeowners would have paid because of increased property values.

“I think most people would be happy to hear about property values going up,” Scott said.

Corcoran also objected to Scott's plan to handle property taxes, which the speaker said is a tax increase.

“I’ve said a thousand times: The House will not raise taxes,” Corcoran said.

While offering money to address Lake Okeechobee, Scott's budget does not support Negron's plan to purchase 60,000 acres of land, partly owned by U.S. Sugar, to create a reservoir.

“I like the fact that I have a Senate president who cares about Lake Okeechobee,” Scott said. “I’m putting out the plan that I think has the greatest impact, and I look forward to working with him.”

Negron, R-Stuart, said he believes he'll be successful without Scott's support.

"We’ve always had a reputation in Florida for a clean environment, beautiful pristine beaches and rivers," Negron said. "We're cleaning up our springs, so I think we’re going to get support from many different people on this issue.”

But Corcoran also appears opposed to Negron's plan, which requires state borrowing. Corcoran reiterated Tuesday he will not support new borrowing by the state.

Scott’s budget plan gives $285 million to finish two reservoirs that could hold up to 75 billion gallons of water from Lake Okeechobee when it floods.

This would reduce the millions of gallons that flow into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers.

That includes $40 million that would be paired with dollars from local governments to replace leaking septic tanks.

There’s another $4 million to purchase land for the construction of another reservoir that could hold another 30 billion gallons of lake water.

Scott also wants to give $19.5 million to Space Florida, another economic development partnership supporting the Space Coast.

Scott's budget would increase per-pupil spending for schools to $7,421 per student, $316 more than the $7,105 offered per student in this year's budget. The plan would provide $11.6 billion for secondary schools, $800 million more than this year's plan.

Scott also proposed $6.6 billion toward the state's post-secondary schools, $89.5 million more than this year's budget. The state's 28 state colleges will receive $1.25 billion, and its 12 universities will see $4.8 billion. The remaining $600 million will go toward the state's workforce education program.

Scott already released parts of his proposed budget in recent weeks, including his proposed $618 million in tax cuts. The proposal would reduce taxes on commercial leases by $454 million and offers several tax-free shopping holidays.

There’s also $45 million to help the Florida Department of Corrections manage thousands of empty corrections officer positions, and another $11.7 million in raises for roughly 4,000 state law enforcement officers.
